Flying fast and low
Did you know, there’s no one like you?
Wearing feathers and a crown
Run inside; Hide away
I’m not unlike you
...and when they come to fight
...and you know, they’ll always hate you
Between the darkness and the light
Come inside; I’ll take you in
I feel unlike this place
Here they come, they’re gathering outside
Take my hand and set my heart on fire
Is it so wrong to feel this great?
Kiss me now and take my breath away...
Feelings come and then they go
The greatest fire
The dullest razor
Help me understand and know
Somewhere inside, I’ll clip these wings
I don’t want this…
They always come; They never go away
Light the spark and set my heart on fire
Is it so wrong to feel this great?
Kiss me now and take my breath away…
Is it so wrong to fall in love this way?
Hold me now and make me feel so safe...
